Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari (Allah be pleased with
him) asked:

“Messenger of Allah, tell me about an act, that if a servant of
Allah does it, he enters Paradise" The Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him ) answered. "To believe in Allah and the Day of Judgement."
Abu Dharr said, "Messenger of Allah, there must be deeds beside the
belief." The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Let him show satisfaction with the will
of Allah regarding whatever He has provided him.” Abu Dharr asked “Messenger of
Allah, what if he is too poor to have anything to be satisfied with?” The
Prophet (pbuh) said “Let him enjoin right and forbid wrong.” Abu Dharr said “Messenger
of Allah he cannot do that because he stammers and is incapable of expressing
himself.” The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Let him do things for someone who is
incapable of doing them.” Abu Dharr said, “Messenger of Allah, he himself is
too clumsy to do anything for anybody.” The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Let him help
a weak person.” Abu Dharr said, “He himself is too weak to help anybody.” The
Prophet (pbuh) said “What is that friend of yours good for? Let him not harm
people.” Abu Dharr said, “If he does that, will he enter Paradise?” The Prophet
(pbuh) said “Any Muslim who does any of these things, I’ll take him by the hand
till he enters Paradise.” (Narrated by Al-Tabarani)
